Not long after I bought my 1998 E430 I took it to the nearest fast lube place for an emissions inspection. They wrote it up as being a BMW 5 series!
Fast lube places are fine for leased vehicles or company cars but not for anything you really care about.

Sure enough many of them, handling the wrench, may not know the difference between metric and SAE.
